Pictures of Steam Ploughing Engines

All the photos on the left of the page were taken by Barry Finch. The early days of road steam preservation overlapped with some engines still working for a living. Barry Finch published a number of well known photo albums of those years of the 1950s. We are very grateful that he has most kindly donated a number of excellent prints to the club showing ploughing engines at work showing John Patten and other operators.
